Arsenal have confirmed Andre Santos departure for the Brazilian club Flamengo. Santos leaves Arsenal after a disappointing two-year spell.
Santos was troubled by a knee injury in his debut season with the club and has not been able to live up to the expectations since then. He fell out of favour last season, failing to make an impression on the pitch.<br />
The 30-year-old had to face stiff contention from the likes of Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal for the left-back position. He managed to make only 12 appearances in his final season with the club and left for Brazilian outfit Gremio on a loan deal.<br />
"Arsenal Football Club can confirm that Brazilian left back Andre Santos has joined Flamengo in a permanent deal. Everybody at Arsenal would like to thank Andre for his contribution to the club and wish him well for his future career", read a statement on the official website of the Gunners.
